Thursday, Sept. 4

12:45 p.m. -- Brian Daboll said they are backing off Andrew Thomas (foot) today and will see where he is tomorrow. It is part of the plan for him. He did more yesterday and "looked good."

2:00 p.m. - Left tackle Andrew Thomas was asked in the locker room today what his status is for Week 1.

"I'm not sure yet," said Thomas. "I haven't really done a ton of reps. I've done some indy (individual drills), took some one-on-one reps. I'm just trying to progress slowly, so we'll see. But like I said, I'm not making any projections right now."

Thomas participated in parts of Wednesday's practice, and while the rest of the team will be off on Friday, the left tackle said he will be at the facility to get some work in.

"Every time you go out there and do something new, there's some soreness that comes with that," Thomas told reporters about how he felt after Wednesday's practice. "But I responded pretty well, and I'm feeling good today. And then I'll get on the field tomorrow to do some more running. I know everybody else is off, but that's just the plan that they have for me right now, to get some extra stuff on Friday and keep progressing."
